If the house has been sold, just why not take the sign away. The estate agents patting themselves on the back for 'can you believe we sold this shit hole' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 American Football is an even shitter version of Rugby which, itself is absolutely shit so bizarre and depressing in equal measure the amount of gimps on my timeline posting about staying up till 5am to watch that absolute pish. Twenty meat headed roid filled dolts in shoulder pads and crash helmets all clatter into one another while some guy throws a rugby ball for another guy to catch, ten seconds of play followed by a twenty minute stoppage till the restart so morbidly obese red necks in the stand called Randy and Dwayne can stuff another four hot dogs and supersize Dr Pepper down their throat and on television we have several minutes of adverts from our partners, Microsoft, Pepsi, Disney land and Chucks Gun Store in Oklohoma. Like all sports that American folk love it has umpteen stoppages in play for adverts and buying merchandise making it completely unwatchable, folk from this island who, by rights should shun this utter freakshow suddenly taking an interest in it for one night only for social media kudos should frankly be choked to death by being force fed cheeseburgers till their windpipe is solidly compacted. c***s from Tullibody, Stonehaven, Erskine and Falkirk getting a case of Budweiser and a tub of Pretzels in to stay up to watch the Detroit Motherfuckers against the New Orleans High School Gun Spree Killers 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be so bad if they stopped calling it 'Football' since 95% of the time they're throwing the ball to each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folk seem to get weirdly upset that other folk enjoy sports other than football. There's a lot of middle ground between getting upset at people liking non-football sport and people thinking American football is particularly shite. I often watch boxing, tennis, athletics (plus snooker, "sport" status tbc); watched ski jumping and egg chasing over the last few days. American football is definitely on the shite list, along with golf and test cricket. But apparently Taylor Swift was playing this year so it needs to be in the news, and talked about by bell ends at work, which is irritating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue isn't folk not liking American Football, it's not for everyone. Like you, there are sports I don't like, Golf being the main one but I don't seem to get annoyed when the Masters is on. Watch this space when another major sporting event is on to see what I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
